Here is after last night with pressure set at 8. Pretty good night, although I did wake up a little confused/hard to breathe at 1:43, where you see a gap here. I turned the machine off and got up and went to the restroom etc. Turned it back on at 1:47. I don't see any events correlated with that, ex...

Zooming in deeper into the flow rate for my OA events in this picture ... it looks like my flow rate was 0 for 40 seconds (wow!!!) and then there were 5 pressure pulses during that time. 40 seconds seems like an incredibly long time - was I not breathing that whole time??? This seems incredibly dang...

Thanks - this is very interesting. I was kind of assuming the OA events were what cause me to wake up "freaking out" - I REALLY want to understand what is causing that, as it is incredibly stressful. If it is actually the pressure probes, I guess switching to CPAP for a few nights would help me unde...

Thanks Wulfman. If I just up the bottom end to 8 instead of 5, and leave the max at 20, what is the downside?

Any thoughts on what I should do? I am still waking up freaking out even on CPAP. I feel like the machine isn't tuned to give me the proper benefit .

Thanks pugsy. So , as I stated my machine is off by ~10minutes. Is there any way to fix this? I wrote down that I turned the machine on at 1:17-1:18 am and the data starts at 1:28. This seems consistent over testing many nights, although one night (last night) the data doesn't start for 17 minutes, ...

Hi All! I posted awhile ago about my newbie struggles, but have been trying to slog through. My nasal pillows no longer hurt me (I use some lanolin). And I have had a few decent nights (out of 60+ now....) . Here is what I need some help with: 1. My System one machine is off by 10 minutes. This is i...

Thanks so much for all the encouraging words and help. 2. What are your pressure settings, min and max? If your min pressure is 4 or 5, that "couldn't breathe" feeling might be when the pressure is at min -- many people describe this feeling and quickly decide to increase the min pressure. 3. Your A...

Hi All. Glad to have discovered this resource. I have read through a bunch of things, especially before my first visit with my DME. I didn't have any choice in the machine, but got to choose a mask. I have facial hair so I went with the nasal pillows, they also seem the least intrusive. Luckily I ha...
